Privatize Fulton jail, GOP sheriff’s candidate says

Looks like Michael Rary is searching for a way to gain attention in his underdog race for the Fulton County sheriff’s office. The Republican nominee is proposing to privatize the county’s troubled jail.

Rary faces former FBI official Theodore Jackson in the Nov. 3 General Election. Jackson, who ran the jail briefly under a court order, defeated incumbent Sheriff Myron Freeman in an Aug. 5 Democratic runoff.

Rary’s press release comes after the jump.
